Opener Graham Strange was again Nationals' top bat, this time lasting through their innings for 24 not out.
Number seven batsman Peter Norris retired hurt after being hit in the head when he ducked into a short delivery from Braithwaite.
Flatts 107 Devonshire 108-2 Flatts paid the price for showing up with just nine men as home team Devonshire Rec. scored an easy eight-wicket win.
